But if you aren't attending, or are keen to see some of the acts from years gone by, BBC Two will be showing the greatest artists to ever headline the festival tonight (22 June).

 

The A to Z programme, hosted by Edith Bowman, covers every Glastonbury since TV coverage began in 1994, kicking off with the Arctic Monkeys and Adele.

 

Oasis, Pulp and The Cure in 1995 stand out as Britpop bangers, while Neil Young, Bruce Springstreen and Blue in 2009 gave festival-goers plenty of anthems to wave their flags to.

 

For many music fans, the most memorable show came in 1997 when Radiohead took to the famous stage - and blew a few speakers in the process.
